Did I (D)see you (A)down in a young girl’s (D)town with your moth er in so much pain?

I was (G)al most (A)there at the (Bm)top of the (E7)stairs with her (D)scream in’ in the rain.

Did she (D)wake you (A)up to (G)tell you (D)that it was on ly a change of plan?

(G)Dream up, dream (A)up, let me (Bm)fill your (E7)cup with the (D)prom ise of a man.

Did I (D)see you (A)walk ing (G)with the (D)boys, though it was not hand in hand?

And was (G)some black (A)face in a (Bm)lone ly place when (D)you could un der stand?

Did she (D)wake you (A)up to (G)tell you (D)that it was on ly a change of plan?

(G)Dream up, dream (A)up, let me (Bm)fill your (E7)cup with the (D)prom ise of a man.
